Westboro Baptist Church Drags American Flag, Vietnam Vet Fights Back

I don’t care who you are, you’re not gonna disrespect the flag, and if I have to go to jail to defend our flag, I’m gonna do it,” Richard Pierce said.

Pierce is a Marine and Vietnam Vet. When he was at Beau Biden’s funeral to pay his respects he noticed that the Westboro Baptist Church was there to protest and dragging the American flag on the ground.

He sprang into action and tossed coffee at them out of rage. Although he was arrested, it’s safe to say he made a point.
